CBS' method wasn't great, but it's gonna be far more accurate than you with a Kinescope. Because at least CBS compared them on the same medium. And the racing form, which was there, got it in the same time CBS did.

Hand times are impossible even with a flag guy.
I've timed plenty old races and they match very close to the official times when the timer wasn't in question. Give it a try some time.
No, I don't have a kinescope lol.
